As you may know, MailExtensions, the new Thunderbird add-on framework, has a lot of limitations. I've almost given up to convert Tag Toolbar add-on into MailExtensions due to the difficulties.
So, I tried another solution: Tag Popup. I know it has degradation from the toolbar version but I think it can improve tag operation rather than default. (Now Tag Popup 2.0.2 has the similar functionalities!) Please try it and let me hear you comment.
Download:
v2.0.0 and up are MailExtensions.
Now it has the same ID and works only with Thunderbird 77.0b3 and up.
Useage:
After install, a toolbar button is added. When you click the button, the following popup is shown. You can toggle tags by the checkboxes. The popup also can be open by keyboard shortcut. Default is F10.
Comparing to Tag Toolbar, one additional action (click the button) is needed.
Note:
Toggling tags may take some time to apply. It seems a problem of Thunderbird API.

Now you can remove a tag by clicking one in the message header view.
And display delay when you toggling tags is improved.

My Tag Popup v2.0.0 works good with TB78, but the contrast between the text and background bar is not very good with certain colors, unless that specific email is selected. For example, you might have a yellow background but the text color is just slightly darker yellow, unless selected. This is really annoying as I have to lean forward to read the email list all the time. Am I missing something. If I recall, the older version had either black or white text and it worked fine.
Thanks,
Tom
Hi,
this is a brilliant extension that makes organizing of tags a breeze in Thunderbird - I cannot stress enough how useful it is if you really need to organize your emails. I have one question - in the legacy version it was possible to tag an outgoing message. Is it possible in this new version too? I couldn't find out how to do it. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I just wanted to ask the same question as Robert: Tagging a message before sending it was a really nice feature of the old version Would be great if this could be realized again. What I personally would like even better: If a new reply to a tagged message automatically inherited that message's tags. (Of course that's not for everybody. If you use a tag like "to do" this might not make sense. But for tags per topic, like I use them, it would be helpful.)
Anyway - thanks for making life easier!
Best regards
Joachim
